Mmmm, on my own SM2.1a3pre, I have Chatzilla disabled in Addon manager. do you have the same ?
AFAIK, Chatzilla is not yet catching up with the recent a3pre version bump (hence disabled).

Callek, I think there was some incompatibility with ChatZilla and the new add-ons manager, right?

Not yet confirmed; but I do wish to take a look at this, assigning so I don't miss it.

I see this too, when trying to open Chatzilla's Preferences via the new addons manager.

The following methods (which bypass the addons manager) still do open the Chatzilla preferences:

Method I.
1. (in SeaMonkey Browser or Mailer) Edit => Preferences => Chatzilla
2. Click "Open ChatZilla's Preferences" in the right pane.

Method II.
(in ChatZilla) ChatZilla => Preferences

In general, the built-in ChatZilla packaged with SeaMonkey gives me no problems.

The dependency is wrong, this and the XPCOM component issue are orthogonal.
